Enhancement request: Change theme in Application Builder

It would be nice to apply a different theme or skin to the App Builder environment itself. Sort of like Firefox themes or any number of apps with a changeable skin. Login to the HTML DB studio, download a new theme, upload/apply it, done.
One gets bored with the same look-n-feel after a few days!
Thanks

Hello,
Not anytime soon, but maybe in future versions.

BatteryWatch is requesting changes to its application control permissions

I am using an ad-supported application called BatteryWatch (1.9.7) and everything used to be fine.
Now, however, everytime I open it I get the request "BatteryWatch is requesting changes to its application control permissions."
No matter how I change the permissions, this message ALWAYS appears.
The strange thing is that it didn't use to happen before.
Since the time that it was working I have updated the application, updated Blackberry App World and I think the company might have moved onto BES/BIS(?).
Any idea how I can stop this message appearing?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If your company indeed did move to BES and if indeed your BB has been activated on BES, then BES could be pushing out specific control permissions that are in conflict with what that app thinks it needs...and BES will win every time. So, when you launch the app, it prompts for a change to the permissions to what it thinks it needs...but, since BES is in control, it can't actually change the permission, and prompts again the next time.
Basically, there is nothing you can do...BES wins every time.
Good luck!

OTN Enhancement Request - Changing of OTN email / login name

From what I read it is currently not possible to change the email address / login name of the OTN forum. I would like to request an enhancement for this functionality to be implemented.
It looks to me like the more than 4 year old request for this functionality has gone missing. :-)

Unfortunately it is an id that might connect to an old firm you worked for and more troublesome it can be reused at the old firm.
Strangely enough platforms like LinkedIn and other can handle this kind of changes to the login id.

[SOLVED] Adding layouts and changing them per application

Hi
I have just installed openbox not a long ago, and I was wondering,
how can I add another keyboard layout? (Hebrew for example)
I heard that I can do it through xorg.conf, but then, changing layouts
will be globaly and not per application.
How can I add another layout to my openbox and change layout with
alt+shift per application?
Thanks

Problem solved thanks to DHeart!
I created /etc/hal/fdi/10-keymap.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,il</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">pc105</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.Options" type="string">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I installed xxkb, and added "exec xxkb &" to my openbox's autostart script.
And it works almost perfect!

Enhancement Request: Change Default Schema

I'd like to see an optional field in the connection settings that allow me to set the database schema to be used by default.
Right now if I have to log in using USER1, then the USER1 schema is set as default.
I want to be able to set a different schema.. e.g. APPDATA, as the default.
Randy

All of the application data is in one schema. e.g. APPDATA. however I don't have the password for the APPDATA user, it is controlled by the DBAs. As a developer, I have a DEVUSER account and password. And the DEVUSER is configured with the appropriate access to the APPDATA schema by the DBAs.
The way I work right now, I connect to the database using the DEVUSER username/password, and I can navigate to the APPDATA schema through the "Other Schemas". I would like an option in the Connection properties that I can specify that APPDATA is my default schema, and the DEVUSER schema would be accessible from "Other Schemas".
I see this field as optional. If it is not entered, then the user's schema is used.
I hope that better explains things.

Application builder timeout

Hi
Everytime i try to make a change in the application builder the browser timesout.
Does anybody know why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance

How do you access APEX? Apache with mod_plsql/EPG/APEX Listener?
If you use Apache with mod_plsql, have a look at your error.log file it might contain additional information why your submit fails.

Enhancement request: Installing applications using the Builder

Installing a full application export file (including the new Supporting Objects feature) really needs to be handled better in the Builder, especially for really large applications.
The file upload part goes smoothly but once I click install, I get that animated gid for a long time and then I get a blank page or a wwv_flow.accept error page.
Long running operations like these should really be done asynchronously. Sort of how the Script Execution works in the SQL Workshop. Accept the install file, store it somewhere internally, execute it from there, free up my browser and provide a status page with progress on the installation.
Thanks

Another related enhancement request
APEX export files are plain text. So they compress like crazy using any compression algorithm (zip, gzip, rar, bzip2, etc).
APEX should accept a compressed application export file in the Builder and decompress it internally before installating it.
Thanks

How to change Application Builder colours?

Hi all
I would like to change the colours of the application builder on my live server - just so I don't get confused when I have sessions to both live & development. It could be as simple as changing the logo bar to a different background colour, so long as it makes it obvious which server I'm working on!
I guess it is a matter of changing the theme but I'm not sure where to look?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi,
As I know there is no out of box solution to change builder theme.
Probably safest way is change css files in HTTP server /i/css
But I would not bother to do it
Have you think set instance messages?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/admin.40/e15521/adm_mg_service_set.htm#sthref361
You can write HTML there also and add e.g. some images.
Or if you use Firefox, you can write some client side greasemonkey script to alter look of builder.

Theme change re-orders Bullet build order

I have used KN'09's "set timing and order for each build" to create bullets so that each bullet is accompanied by its own graphic. This was done by manually interleaving the graphic in and out builds in the build order, within the list of bullets. Something I have always wanted to do, so that is great.
Only downside, when I change themes for all pages, bullets are reordered together again. For your info the first theme chosen is LetterPress.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I missed this earlier. No, the tab reordering bug is not a problem with Acrobt 8, it uses the other method I've mentioned. On my Windows 7 Pro machine, I've set up a virtual XP installation using "XP Mode", and have Acrobat 7 installed on it so I can set the tab order of forms I create with Acrobat 9. You may be able to do the same if your client's machine is Windows 7 Pro or better.
I know a very experienced Acrobat forms developer who still uses Acrobat 5 Pro on the Mac to do a lot of forms authoring. Things have gotten worse in a number of ways for Acrobat forms developers over the years. This whole tab order issue is in my opinion the worst.

It should be easier to change the default copyright company in Application Builder

It should be easier to change the default copyright company in Application Builder.
I got the following from NI support to change the name of the company that is copyrighting the software.
1. To show the desired hidden folder, you must select Tools>> Folder Options >> View >> Under 'Files and Folders'>> 'Hidden files and folders' >> check the 'Show hidden files, folders, or drives' >> Select 'ok'
2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData
3. Open ProgramData >> National Instruments >> LVProductDLLInfo >> 12.0.0 >>LabVIEW_ADE_120000.ini ***Please note that the folder 12.0.0 may instead be 14.1.0 or another numeric value based on which version of LabVIEW you are using***
4. Change the RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner to the appropriate organization and owner respectively.
The fix NI support sent me was to change the name of the current software owner.
The company that owns the software is usually writing the program for another company that is paying to have it developed. If the software owner is not careful they may assign the copyright to their company or to the company that they developed software for last. I am sure that the company that had software developed will be surprised if their name is not listed as the legal copyright owner.

I've found it now (sheepishly). It is a parameter defined in Home->Application Builder->Application 693->Application Attributes->Edit Definition. I thought it was using the database nls parameters, but it isnt. So I simply had to change the parameter value from $ to £.

In application builder the top level vi is always set to "run when opened"; how do I turn this off so I don't have to change it each and every time I build a .exe??

I build a lot of executables using Application Builder under LabVIEW and in every one I build, I don't want the top level vi to take off and run when I open the executable. Currently, I edit each .exe I build within Application Builder and change the option of "run when opened" from Yes to No for the top level vi. All the other subvi's are already set to No. It would seem as though there should be some way to "turn this off" if you will so the top level vi is not always set to "run when opened" by default within Application Builder. Is there such a solution that anyone knows of?? Any help would be apprec
iated... thanks...

Indeed the Application builder forces "run when opened" to true for top levels VIs. If you don't want your VI to make any real work when the application starts, you should simply put a do-nothing loop in the beginning of the VI that will loop until the user presses a boolean. It will be more intuitive for users to press a Run button on the FP than clicking on the white Run arrow in the bar.

Changing theme template in my APEX applications by scripts

Hello every body,
I wonder if there any issue to change my APEX applications themes by script ?
Best Regards

Anton,
1) When you export your application 100 from within Application Express from your old instance and you compare it to the one generated, are there any significant differences?
2) Can you export your application 100 from within Application Express from your old instance and import it back into the same (old) instance but with a different application identifier?

Change the application builder's language

Is there a way for developers to change the application builder's language?
My location is in Germany but I prefer the american-english language during development; in case of normal usage of my Apex-Appl. (as a normal end user) I'd like the "german way"...

Hello,
If you look in the Oracle® Database Application Express Installation Guide, paragraph 4.7 :
The Oracle Application Express interface is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. A single instance of Oracle Application Express can be installed with one or more of these translated versions. At runtime, each user's Web browser language settings determine the specific language version.
The translated version of Oracle Application Express should be loaded into a database that has a character set that supports the specific language. If you attempt to install a translated version of Oracle Application Express into a database that does not support the character encoding of the language, the installation may fail or the translated Oracle Application Express instance may appear corrupt when run. The database character set AL32UTF8 supports all the translated versions of Oracle Application Express.
In the rest of the doc there is a description how to install other languages...
